I have decided to give Atkins a bash!!! I have lots and lots and lots of weight to lose. After tons of research and a few months on weight watchers (it worked but Christmas got me).......I read a fantastic medical article that women with pcos respond best to low carb diets..... So after getting the Atkins books....stalking the Atkins threads and doing a lot of research we started yesterday.....(talked my partner into trying also, even though he only needs to loose a few stone......
yesterday comprised of left over Christmas meat Palma ham etc, a few boiled eggs, left over Xmas cheddar, lots of green salad and glasses of water....it seemed great but think that may be due to overload of carbs over Christmas..
Today we went shopping filled up trolley with all required and some multi vitamins....
Today's menu much to partners delight
B - bacon and eggs
L- chicken breast with green salad
D- chicken breast again!!!! With courgettes and a mushroom sauce
No snacks as yet but have been hitting back the water +++++++
I have the next week of work( the only perk when you work all over Christmas. Nurse in a&e)
Poor partner back tomorrow. So far I have had a slight headache easily gone with paracetamol so not a prob. Partner on other hand has some really bad stomach pain (personally I think more to do with alcohol over Xmas)
I have a few questions if anyone can help? How long before ketosis? What helps with the stinky breath?, as I have so much to lose how long cani stay on induction for? And what is the score with wine??? When aloud if ever?
Thanks all x
